    I have MUCH to be thankful for...

    Well friends,

    It's been a while since I posted here, but we finally had our baby. Gianna was born on November 9th @ 11:01AM EST. She weighed in at 7 pounds 14 ounces, and was 20.25 inches long. She has changed my life in unimaginable ways. I thought I knew what to expect, but she surprises me EVERY day. She's only 2 1/2 weeks old, but yesterday she grabbed her bottle with BOTH hands and held it HERSELF! I might have a little genious on my hands huh.

    I'm still looking for a job, but have had a few promising interviews recently, so I'm crossing my fingers. Also, I didn't sell ANY of my equipment, and WON'T!

    Well, I just wanted to share my blessings with you knuckleheads.

    Happy Thanksgiving!
    John

    trussrod adjustment:
    Click here for an image!
    less relief / flatter = lower action
    more relief / bow = higher action
    do NOT use cheap tools to adjust with. they might break and scrape up your pressious!
    also, if you are lucky enough to have a 100th namm sr4: the truss works the other way around on that one!

    Dave,

    That made me laugh! I'll see what I can do, but the wife isn't crazy about posting pictures of our daughter for some reason.
